Black Diamond Spot

Spot 2017- new and improved! I've owned past models of the Spot- the 130 lumen model (2014-ish) and then the 2016 model- lumens bumped to 200 and waterproofness bumped to IPX8 and have been very satisfied with them. Good all around lamps for a decent price point. This spring during an extended night travel stretch, I couldn't help but notice my buddy's lamp was putting out more light. I asked what he was using- "Black Diamond Spot", well that's odd as that's what I'm using. Unbeknownst to… Full review

Northwest Territory Rechargeable Camping Lantern

Bought this lantern to keep in our motorhome and only used it a few times. The next season we went to use it and thought it wouldn't take a charge. So I ordered a new battery ($16), charged it over night and nothing. Would not recommend! For a table top lantern it seemed to put out enough light, but it takes quite a while to charge and didn't hold the charge very long. It does seem to be poorly made/designed and probably not worth buying. Full review

Harbor Freight 3-1/2 in. 9 LED Mini Flashlight

More than adequate for anything I use a flashlight for. Cannot beat the price! Convenient and durable. This is a review of the "3-1/2 in. 9 LED Mini Flashlight" which Harbor Freight regularly has "free with purchase." This is my go-to flashlight for camping, general home use, and I also use one as the headlamp on my bicycle (5-mile one-way commute in all but the foulest weather). I have (and have had) a bunch of these, and all have worked and lasted. If you don't expect it to be what it is not,… Full review

Black Diamond Spot

Amazing features that were beyond what I expected when I took a 10-day loop backpack trip from Tolumne Meadows to Yosemite Valley floor. Other backpackers at High Sierra B.P. camps wanted to try it out. I was so impressed, I got several as gifts. Amazing high beam to allow me to follow trail or get around in camp for setup after dark. The low beam narrowing and dimming when needed to not disturb others. Strap stays put and comfortable adjuster. Light enough without weight and all features at my… Full review

Black Diamond ReVolt

Exceptional headlamp. I take this headlamp with me everywhere from climbing, to camping to working on my vehicle. Exceptional headlamp. I take this headlamp with me everywhere from climbing, to camping to working on my vehicle. It's very bright and I enjoy using rechargeable batteries as I know I always leave the house with a full charge (can also use regular AAA batteries). The red light and "lock" function work well. The single button is a pain to use at first, but once you understand how it works… Full review

Black Diamond Spot

The Black Diamond Spot is a very durable headlamp that provides more than adequate light and is a great headlamp for just about any outdoor activity. While it has a few less desirable features, this headlamp has served me well since I purchased it back in the 2014 timeframe. I purchased the Black Diamond Spot headlamp back in the 2014 timeframe and this has been my go-to headlamp since that time and I don't ever anticipate replacing it unless it breaks as it meets all my needs and provides great… Full review

Black Diamond Storm

Nice quality, very bright, and well made. This is a great light that's a bit on the heavy side but has a good burn time. Controls aren't very intuitive, but easy enough to figure out with some time. This is a review for the newest version of the Black Diamond Storm, purchased in spring 2017. I was looking for a heavy duty light that uses commonly available batteries, throws a bright beam, and has a long battery life. This fits the bill. It's fairly heavy. I have a much smaller and lighter headlamp… Full review

Power Practical Luminoodle

Great little device for lighting the campsite. Lots of configurations. I got this for Christmas last year and have used it several times. It goes for hours on a small battery pack like you would use to recharge a phone. The stuff sack is handy and it comes with some reusable locking ties. Nice spool to hold it also.
The only thing I'd change is to put a dimmer switch on it. Full review
